Super cool. I have a powerful sound system slaved to this computer and with the sound cranked, it was like being next to the engines. Woke my wife up upstairs. Totally worth it.
Love the Merlin. In that old movie "Spitfire " I remember Mitchell asking Rolls Royce if they could suggest an engine for a fighter plane he was designing. They said "yes, we are calling it the Merlin" .History was made
Any one of these old radial engines probably burned more oil on startup than all of the cars that I've owned in the last 50+ years. And, totally worth it!
@michaelmurray7199 radial engines are piston engines....just sayn..byt you are correct the tolerances were much more relaxed then the tight tolerance of todays piston engines
At 1:00 minute this engine is not supercharged. Those are turbines in the green housings turned by the exhaust and then thru shafts and gears the power is transmitted to the crankshaft. They do not compress any air, just use the exhaust to turn them. A very unique and effective way to use the exhaust to increase power.
I remember reading that it was risky to run a radial (or any air-cooled engine for that matter) without either a test prop (or full size prop) because the engine needed cooling.
There are so many reliable reciprocal gasoline burning powerplants still in service today. My favorite is from the Lockheed Constellation. Happy 2024 my aviation friends ❤
I love the merlin engine the sound is pure mechanical music .. Also I could listen to old radials starting all day - Chug, Bang, Fart , Maybeee , yes, no ,yes ,no no ,Oh alright then !
@@adrianwilliams763 The Packard 4M-2500 V-12 marine engines, were used in all U.S. PT boats during WW2. The 4M-2500 engine was a totally designed and built engine by Packard in the mid to late 1930's.The Packard built Merlin engines were know as the V-1650.
The P38 had 2 ALLISON'S, what a machine to fly I bet that was... Our B-17's were getting slaughtered on bombing missions over GERMANY until the P51 came online and provided escort service!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!
The P-51 used a variant of the Merlin. It was built as the Merlin 63 and was built by Packard motorcar company, the same Packard built Merlin saw service in trios of 3 in PT boats in the pacific. The V-1710 Allison engines didn’t get much service in Europe owing to fuel issues. British fuel was too low octane for the P-38 and many had issues until the widespread availability of US cooked up 130 octane fuel. Once they fixed it the P-38 came into its own but owing to an ineffective cockpit heater they were not well liked by pilots in the ETO ( European theater of operations). They offered pilots electricity heated powder blue flight suits to help but again was not popular. The PTO was where the P-38 came into its own as the great Charles A Lindbergh was working a a rep for Lockheed aircraft, he flew into combat and showed pilots how to pull the mixture back far enough to extend even farther the P-38s already significant range. 2 of the top scoring USAAF aces were PTO lightning pilots, Majors Tommy McGuire ( 38 victories prior to his crash and death) and Richard Bong ( 40 victories and he returned home only to be killed flying a P-80 shooting star prototype). The P-38 also holds the distinction of being the aircraft that ended the life of Adm. Isokrou Yammamoto ( who had he survived the war might have made a good history professor . Without the turbos the V-1710 was a low ti mid altitude engine at best as British Lightning 1s were normally aspirated and the RAF found issues with it. ( RAF designers were also the people who took a Mustang 1 ( Then the A-36 Apache dive bomber in us service)) and they fitted a 4 blade constant pitch propeller and a Merlin 61 for its better altitude performance. Upon its success they sent their findings back to North American aviation along with a production license for the RR Merlin, then another legend was born )
Wow, no load free reving radial engines. Not to mention cooling. NOPE at least a club (shortened, modified prop). Take care of these, they are a bit rare these days.

Unless she’s a motorhead too, you’re probably sleeping on the couch for a while. LOL
Nope. She came downstairs barefoot, and said, "What was that?" "What was what, Honey."@@Subguy686

I used to love having to do the lube turns on the Wright 3350 double wasp engines on our Douglas Skyraider’s when I was in the Navy in 1965-66.

That's unburnt fuel. You have to flood the heck out of them too get them to start
These vintage engines aren’t as tightly built as modern car and piston airplane engines are.

@spaceace1006 👍👍
First time I’ve seen a round engine and a composite prop, very cool
Wonderful sounds. They have a certain romanticism that jet engines don't have.

I like the smoothness of the Vedeneyev engine.
Des sacrées mécaniques rt fui dont increvables......,!
Belles vidéo...
Nothing beats the sound of the Merlin
I remember reading that it was risky to run a radial (or any air-cooled engine for that matter) without either a test prop (or full size prop) because the engine needed cooling.
The propeller also acted as a load for the engine to turn against.
A flywheel to provide inertia to give smooth running off the master connecting rod.

wonderful! Thank you!
All these guys standing around not even wondering where the wives were 😊
Listening to a RR Merlin engine live is on my bucket list.
Merle of Merle's old school garage in lake Havasu just got ahold of a radial engine he plans to get going and run at shows , etc. ! 😎
I could smell the various flavors of Av Gas being burned. yummy! And of course, the sounds, SO COOL!
I love the merlin engine the sound is pure mechanical music .. Also I could listen to old radials starting all day - Chug, Bang, Fart , Maybeee , yes, no ,yes ,no no ,Oh alright then !
There were some very clever people back in the day.
Wow ! A running sleeve valve engine. That is rare.
00:00 ..
All beautiful, but that Vedeneyev really purrs. Wonder if it would fit in a Sportster frame? 🤔
If I remember correctly, Packard, a U.S. company also had their own V12 engines in service also in WW2.
I think the Packard was a RR Merlin built under licence

Licensed by Rolls Royce for manufacture here during WW2, Also used in Navy PT Boats for propulsion power.
Awesome
Counter rotaing is my fav.🎉
Admit it seeing the engine in the truck bed made you wish it had a propeller and was actually moving the truck. 🤗😁🤗
If one of those blades comes off😮
The sound of a radial power plant
imagine something like the R-4360 under a Semi hood
The P38 had 2 ALLISON'S, what a machine to fly I bet that was...
Our B-17's were getting slaughtered on bombing missions over GERMANY until the P51 came online and provided escort service!!!

Why no German Engines like Junkers or Daimler - Benz with Innovative Fuelinjectio ?
A lot of radial engine haters, turning them without a propeller...
What’s the point in running an aircraft engine unless it’s actually in an aircraft?
The planes were hard starting
I wonder why propeler engines must be circular
These engine's on trailers wouldn't ever fly again and they sound like it.. it's like owning a circuis elephant that is half dead.
Im sorry but the somplicity and beauty of the straight 12 is too gorgeous.
Thise radials look complicated. Yechh.
Fun fact they won’t start up when they’re cold
Most of those sound and look like they are badly in need of a service.
